Abstract

The present invention provides for single, double or multiple row display systems for easily and clearly displaying products, such as bug shields. The display system includes a rigid frame extending from the wall at a distance above the floor, and a rigid retainer assembly extending from the wall between the frame and the floor. The frame and retainer assemblies define upper and lower compartments for receiving and holding the product, which rests upon the floor. Optional peghook assemblies can be attached to the frame for displaying different, smaller-sized products, such as bug shield trim kits. The display system can be assembled quickly and easily without the use of tools.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A product display system for use on a wall extending upwardly from a floor, comprising: a rigid frame hanging from the wall at a distance above the floor;   a rigid retainer assembly operatively hanging from the wall at a distance above the floor and below the frame;   the frame having opposite sides and an interconnecting web so as to define an upper product compartment spaced above the floor;   the retainer assembly having opposite sides and an interconnecting web so as to define a lower product compartment spaced above the floor; and   the display product being positioned within the upper and lower compartments and being supported by the floor.   
     
     
       2. The display system of claim 1 wherein the frame and retainer assembly each have at least one dividing bar to subdivide the respective upper and lower compartments into smaller subcompartments. 
     
     
       3. The display system of claim 1 wherein a support assembly is operatively attached to each side of the frame and has a portion engaging the wall so as to hold the frame in a substantially horizontal position. 
     
     
       4. The display system of claim 3 wherein the frame has a clip means on each side thereof and each support assembly has a leg which slip-fits into the corresponding clip means so as to attach the support assembly to the frame. 
     
     
       5. The display system of claim 3 wherein the retainer assembly is operatively attached to the support assembly. 
     
     
       6. The display system of claim 5 wherein each support assembly has clip means thereon and the retainer assembly has a leg on each side thereof which slip-fits into the corresponding clip means of the support assembly so as to attach the retainer assembly to the support assembly. 
     
     
       7. The display system of claim 1 further comprising at least one peghook assembly operatively attached to the frame for displaying a different product from the peghook assembly. 
     
     
       8. The display system of claim 7 wherein the peghook assembly includes a mounting frame having opposite ends, clip means attached to each end of the mounting frame, and at least one hook extending from the mounting frame for hanging the different products on, and the frame having an upturned leg at each side which slip-fits into the corresponding clip means on the mounting frame of the peghook assembly so as to attach the peghook assembly to the frame. 
     
     
       9. The display system of claim 7 wherein the peghook assembly includes a spacer bar attached to the frame and a hook means secured to the spacer bar. 
     
     
       10. The display system of claim 1 wherein the retainer assembly includes a support portion at each end thereof which engages the wall to hold the retainer assembly in a position extending from the wall. 
     
     
       11. The display system of claim 10 wherein the frame has clip means on each side and the retainer includes a leg at each end which slip-fits into the respective dip means of the frame to attach the retainer assembly to the frame. 
     
     
       12. The display system of claim 1 further comprising hook means operatively attached to the frame and being received in holes in the wall so as to secure the frame to the wall. 
     
     
       13. The display system of claim 1 wherein the frame has an upwardly extending back leg at each end with a hook on the end of each leg, the hooks being received in holes in the wall and the back legs engaging the wall so as to secure the frame to the wall and support the frame in a substantially horizontal position. 
     
     
       14. The display system of claim 1 further comprising a tab secured to said frame to which an additional product can be mounted for display. 
     
     
       15. The display system of claim 7 wherein said peg hook assembly includes a plurality of C-shaped hook members operatively attached to said frame so as to provide upper and lower rows of hooks for displaying the different product.
